The researchers define fundamentalism as a cognitive approach that “embodies adherence to a set of firm religious beliefs advocating unassailable truths about human existence.“

oh please. How about a correlation between race and crime? Let’s publish that story

Having met a few, it wouldnt surprise me...

[BenLurkin]

Junk science.

" . . . may determine a person’s mental openness - necessary to appreciate the “diversity of religious thought.”

Does this mean that militant atheists and secularists are also brain damaged?

[Honorary Serb]

.....mental openness - necessary to appreciate the “diversity of religious thought.”....

“Diversity of religious thought” has been traditionally defined by the Holy Fathers as heresy!!!!

PHOOEY!!!!

[dowcaet]

Can we guess who funded this pile of crap?

[Mr. K]

Have they found any link between liberalism and stupidity?

[caver]

More fake news.

[Texas Eagle]

Very interesting. Say, Jordan, you find adherence to any one particular set of religious beliefs is more prevalent than others?

[ifinnegan]

Junk science.

And, they want ultimately to claim they can scan for thought crimes.

"They compared levels of religious fundamentalism between 119 vets who had lesions and 30 veterans who didn’t."

Wow, that's a HUGE sample. Did they study anyone other than Vietnam vets to see how many "fundamentalists" in the general public have brain damage? 

[Mr. K]

So, is this step one in diagnosing that an actual lobotomy can ‘fix’ them.
Make nice new liberals out of them?

Shown below is a brain scan of the social justice warrior who concocted this fake news:

[FrankR]

So, they’re trying to say that religion is a mental disease?

[BwanaNdege]

Next they will try to mandate frontal lobotomies for those of us who have examined the evidence, come to a conclusion and remain faithful to it.

You know - like those “closed minded individuals” who are convinced that other fundamental concepts are true, such as Water is Wet and Gravity Works, no matter how much the learned elites work to convince us that Wet Water and Gravity are only racist constructs of the Privileged Class.

Many years ago my mother fell on ice and slammed her forehead into the cement sidewalk. She was never the same after that injury. She became a religious fanatic in a short while, seeing angels and hearing what she thought was god’s voice. Later diagnosed as seriously mentally ill.

[smokingfrog]

If you had a more or less random group of 150 Vietnam veterans without head injuries, how many of them would have fundamentalist religious beliefs?

[teeman8r]

how about a correlation between gender identification and delusions...

[KosmicKitty]

Pretty small sample size - just saying
